PHILADELPHIA(AP) -- Ryan Brooks scored 19 points and made a pair
of late free throws to lift Temple to a 45-42 win over Penn
State on Saturday.

Brooks, who was the only Temple player to score in double
figures, shot 8-for-18 from the field and grabbed six rebounds
for the Owls (6-2).

His jumper from the top of the key with 1:32 left to play gave
Temple a 43-40 lead. His two free throws with 11.6 seconds to go
- after an offensive foul against the Nittany Lions - accounted
for the final margin.

Chris Babb came off the bench to lead Penn State (5-3) with 11
points.
